Roll Call shows you one real NFL playoff game each day - the season, the round, the date, both teams and the final score - with both box scores hidden. Your job is to name everyone who touched the ball in it: every player who threw a pass, carried the ball or caught one. Search for a player and select him; if he touched it that day he lands in his team's column, along with the line he actually recorded - the completions and yards, the carries, the catches, the touchdowns. The two columns are the point of the layout: you can see at a glance that you have cleared one side and are still four short on the other. There is no clock. Ten wrong guesses end the round, and when you are done there is an honest way out at the foot of the board that spends the guesses you have left. Name half the men who touched the ball and the day is a win. A defender who made a sack, an interception or a takeaway is a bonus if you can name him - it never counts against you.
Roll Call is sacked.gg's NFL memory game, built on real box scores. Every puzzle comes straight out of our game database - every playoff game since the 1970 merger, with the passing, rushing, receiving and defensive lines for each - and the roster you are asked to name is exactly the set of players who recorded a pass attempt, a carry or a catch in that game. Nothing is curated or typed by hand, which is why the column matches the box score exactly. The question is who touched the ball rather than who played because an NFL game dresses 46 men a side, and snap counts only exist for recent seasons: ninety names nobody can list would not be a game. Games are drawn from the playoffs only, and only games with a namable roster are used.
Does the search tell me the answer?
No. The search runs against the entire player database, not against today's roster, so autocompleting a name reveals nothing about whether he touched the ball. A typeahead fed the answer list would hand the game away on the first keystroke.
Why playoff games only?
A random Sunday in October is unanswerable for almost everyone, while a playoff game is something a fan might actually have watched. It keeps the puzzle hard but fair.
Why 'touched the ball' and not 'played'?
An NFL team dresses 46 players a game and our snap counts only begin in 2012, so 'everyone who played' would be ninety names and a question the older data cannot answer. Every playoff box score since 1970 records who threw, ran and caught, and that is about twenty men - a roster a fan can actually name.
What is the defensive bonus?
Any defender who made a sack, an interception, a forced fumble or a fumble recovery in the game, and never touched the ball on offense. Naming one is worth a bonus, but it never counts toward the win bar and a wrong guess at one costs the same as any other wrong guess.
What happens when I run out of guesses?
The round ends and every name you missed is revealed in its column with his line, alongside the defensive bonus tier. If you are stuck before that, the control at the foot of the board ends the round by spending the guesses you have left - the result is identical to guessing them away.
